Coventry City defender Richard Shaw will raise #100 for charity if he can break a goalscoring duck going back 298 games over 10 years.

Shaw, 35, the Sky Blues centre-half, last scored a goal for his previous club Crystal Palace, in the 1993-94 season. He joined Coventry in 1995-96 and since then, in 242 games, lasting 363 hours, he has failed to hit the back of the net.

So when the Sky Blues Supporters? Trust agreed to sponsor him for the rest of the season, they offered an extra carrot of cash for charity if he scores.

Trust treasurer Rob Wheatley, 27, said that in City?s recent 6-1 thumping of Walsall, fans wanted Shaw to take a penalty. Striker Gary McSheffrey ended up taking it, and missed.

Rob said: ?I don?t think Richard?s even come close to scoring, so this is an extra incentive.?
